Baby Proof by Emily Griffin Reviews
#1020 in Books

Description

Publisher's description:
From the author of the smash hits Something Borrowed and Something Blue comes a novel that explores the question: is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love?
First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes . . . a baby carriage? Isn''t that what all women want?
 
Not so for Claudia Parr. And just as she gives up on finding a man who feels the same way, she meets warm, wonderful Ben. Things seem too good to be true when they fall in love and agree to buck tradition with a satisfying, child-free marriage. Then the unexpected occurs: one of them has a change of heart. One of them wants children after all.
 
This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things. It's about feeling that your life is set and then realizing that nothing is as you thought it was--and that there is no possible compromise. It's about deciding what is most important in life, and taking chances to get it. But most of all, it''s about the things we will do--and won''t do--for love.

    I love this series!!! It's such a fun, uplifting, easy read. I couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days!!! Griffin books are very similar to Sophie Kinsella, so you'll love both.

    I think your opinion of this book will depend on your life situation. If you are at an age where children are expected and you don't know quite yet what your opinion on the subject is, you'll find this to be a very compelling read.

    I am at the age where I'm constantly bombarded by people asking when I'm going to get pregnant and usually have to preface every long distance phone call home with, "Hi Mom/Auntie Jane/Grandma/(insert random relative here)... no, I'm not pregnant. How are you?"

    I totally understood the protagonist's point of view on not wanting to have children even though she loves her nieces and nephews. I wouldn't say I don't want them as much as I don't know. So it was a subject matter I personally found interesting. What killed me is that she and her husband were willing to throw their relationship away over it. I felt like both characters were too weak to battle it out and fight for their marriage.

    Again, like all Giffin novels (so far), I was happy with the ending and it made me crave another one of her books. Unfortunately I have now read them all so she has some catching up to do!

    I loved this novel. If you have ever been in this situation (one partner wants a baby and the other doesn't) then it is a definite read for sure! I could not put this book down!
